Is it necessary to read the thermometer when the oven is closed? With our oven it would be impossible to read a thermometer through the glass.

I just open the door, check the temperature and close the door. It has always worked for me.

No, you can open the oven door and take an instant reading. But, keep in mind that the oven temperature will drop any time you have the door open and it may take a short period of time to reach back to the reading you just observed. Dick Y

This is not the type of thermometer that you leave in the oven with what ever your baking. With this type you have to open the oven once in a while and stick the probe in meatiest part to get the correct temp. After you get a reading you pull it out, turn it off and clean the metal probe, put it back in its sleeve and wait to use it again.

Yes no problem, however it starts at 125 degs, so it won,t read until it reaches that temp. Of course most foods if not all don,t get cooked before at least 350 degs so no problem.

My oven closes as usual. The probe chord is not thick enough to be an issue. Just ensure you have any slack out of the way of the oven door and it should work fine.

Since you need to be able to see it without opening the door, I find the only place I can put it is hanging from the front of one of the racks. I've found this to be a very accurate product and essential for cooking as my oven thermostat is generally off by 25 degrees.

You can close the oven door on the cable with no problem. You can't leave the monitor in the oven. BTW, the monitor has a magnet on the back so I put it on my refrigerator while I have the probe in the oven. You could also stick on the side of the oven.

I agree with others and I have used glass dishes several times in this oven and it's been fine. I do lower the temperature at least 25 degrees when I use a glass dish. Convection also speeds up the time needed to cook so be sure to take that into account. But using glassware is perfectly safe.

My light does not work in my oven so I have to open the door to see the reading. I open the door and look at it immediately.

The booklet it came with states that the glass lid is heat resistant up to 180 degrees Celsius. "The thermometer has no function in the oven as it only displays up to 100 degrees Celsius." So, I guess the lid is ok but you should take the thermometer out, which makes sense to me, but I'm not in the habit of putting glass in the oven, so I don't do it.

No. I would not leave this thermometer in the oven during cooking. It was made for instant read.

I agree with the other posters - it's all about the temperature you are exposing it to. As long as it stays under the rated temp (392), you're good to go. Going over that temp will ruin the thermometer (I know, I've done it not once, but TWICE). If you want a high-heat thermometer, check out thermoworks.com, but they are very expensive :(

Yes, there is a thermometer enclosed and it works very well. It tells you the temperature of the oven and you can regulate it by moving the oven to direct sun rays.

Yes, you crack open the door to your oven, point the gun in, aiming away from the heating elements and pull the trigger. In one second it will tell you what the temperature is in your oven. It's great for checking your oven thermostat for accuracy.

Yes, it stays in the oven. If fact the probe provides two temperature readings. It tells you the temp of the meat you are cooking (because you stick the probe into the meat) AND it also gives you the temperature of the oven. The tip of the probe reads the meat . . . and the top portion reads the oven temp. I bought it because we were certain our oven wasn't giving us an accurate reading. We found out that our oven was cooking at 470 degrees when the dial was set at 400 degrees. Hope this helps.

Hi Mark,I haven't used my oven very often since I got it but I think that when I've baked something, the timer has to be turned on to activate the heating elements. Then when the timer runs out, the oven's heat shuts off. I could be incorrect but it shouldn't take much experimenting for you to find out for yourself.

It would be difficult. You would probably get burns as the thermometer is not instant and has no clip, etc., to attached to side of any vessel. I have to pull items out of oven to check temp due to heat.

Yes, it can be used without the probe. It's great when you've got multiple items cooking and you need more than the oven timer. Loud enough to hear from another room as well.
